Bonny Doon Vineyard is a winery based in the Santa Cruz mountains of California. It was started by Randall Grahm[1].

Bonny Doon was amongst the first Californian wineries to embrace Rhone varietals, giving Randall Grahm the nickname "The Rhone Ranger". The winery is known for its untraditional labels, including illustrations by Ralph Steadman, Grady McFerrin, and Gary Taxali. In recent years, the winery has embraced obscure Italian varietals, screwcaps, and biodynamic production.

Although at one point the winery was a high-volume producer in the United States, the sale of the Big House family and the separation of the Pacific Rim series of wines has restored the winery to its smaller, experimental roots.
